Just a matter of time. This gives the EPA the green light to do the same.
Here's the link.
In the meantime, hopefully, they will move those fracking crews to North Dakota and not send them back to New York.
Anything to destroy the domestic oil and gas industry.

Week 47: November 22, 2010 -- November 28, 2010
Warning: I posted a couple of non-Bakken stories today, so as you scroll down, don't say I didn't warn you. It's a relatively slow day. But even if there isn't a lot of news this evening, there are some great stories that you may have missed this past week.
Even I am amazed at all the great stories being told about the Bakken.
Updated EOG Activity in T151-R91.
Zavanna.
Lodgepole Update and Expectations.
Whiting's "Cash Cows" in the Sanish.
Work Left in the Bakken: Staggering.
Eco-Pad Update.
Delay in Fracking Due to Lack of Crews.
Cost of Pipeline vs Rail.
NOG Raises Cash. Share Price Rises.
Companies Post Best Quarter Ever. Ever.
Keep the guys on the rigs, the truckers, the fracking crews in your thoughts and prayers as "we" go into North Dakota winter.
What I am missing most this particular moment: stopping at Herman's Oil service station on the bypass around Williston before going out to check the activity with my dad.

Record Freeze in Sweden: Coldest in 100 Years -- Not a Bakken Story
Just saying.
Update: now it's all of Europe and England. More evidence of climate change. I understand that some of the "global warming" folks are now saying that it will get colder before it gets hotter. It sounds like nature is taking some cues from some senators: I voted for it before I voted against it.
Actually, saying "it will get colder before it gets warmer" sounds like the "seasons." You know, summer, autumn, winter, spring.

Fracking Solutions
Regular readers of this site know about the shortage of frack crews. I talk about it fairly often.
Article today suggests some are doing something about it. In fact, at least two companies in the Bakken have their own dedicated frack crews. EOG is acutely aware of the problem.

Ben Stein on CBS Sunday Morning: Christmas and More
News Item: JPMorgan Chase Bank policy -- no Christmas trees in the lobby (or on the premises, I suppose). Mind boggling. Remind me never to open a Chase account.
Don't worry: after this I will get back to the Bakken.
I am somewhat amazed that this would be broadcast on CBS.
I have always enjoyed Ben Stein. It always amazes me how some people get things exactly right (another person that seems to get things exactly right is Peggy Noonan).
As transcribed from Ben Stein's CBS Sunday Morning Commentary:
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees ... I don't feel threatened ... I don't feel discriminated against .. That's what they are, Christmas trees.
It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on disply at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu. If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

Note: I have not verified that this was written or said by Ben Stein, but it sounds like him. If I find later that this is inaccurate, I will remove it.
Update: it turns out that some of the original piece was said or written by Ben Stein, but the last half was not. That was been removed. You can check it out on Snopes.com.
Regardless, by the end of the day, this post will be removed entirely.
Now, back to the Bakken.

Thirteen (13) New Permits -- North Dakota, USA

Fields: Mandaree, St Anthony, Bailey, Van Hook, Siverston, Capa, Stone Creek, and four wildcats.
Remember the announcement that Enerplus was buying land in the reservation. They have three new permits on / near their new acquisition, it appears. All three of their permits are in Mandaree oil field. (As a reminder, someone wrote to tell me that Enerplus acquired their new acreage from Simray.)
This is Zavanna's third permit in two days.
Today's daily report shows an IP of 993 for the Arvid Bangen USA 31-18H. Whiting has a couple of good wells, the KR State 11-6TFH with 1,146; and, Moore 14-7XH, with 1,485. And Tracker's Wing 9-1H reported 1,325. Results of all wells coming off the confidential list can be found here.
